Description of the installation brackets The Midland BTX1 FM can be xed onto the helmet in two dierent ways: By ei- ther using the plate with bi-adhesive strip, or the clamp. These methods allow you to safely “x” the BTX1 FM unit onto your helmet and to remove it at any time in order to recharge or store it. Plate with bi-adhesive strip The xing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one of its sides. To x the plate in place, clean the appli- cation area on the helmet surface, remove the bi- adhesive lm and place the xing plate on the helmet by keeping it contact with the surface for a few seconds. Screw Clamp Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and place the Backward plate between the helmet padding and the external rigid protection.

• Il simbolo del cassonetto barrato riportato sulle apparecchiature indica che il prodotto alla fine della propria vita utile deve essere raccolto separatamente dagli altri rifiuti. L’utente dovrà, pertanto, conferire l’apparecchiatura giunta a fine vita agli idonei centri di raccolta differenziata dei rifiuti elettronici ed elettrotecnici, oppure riconsegnarla al rivenditore al momento dell’acquisto di una nuova apparecchiatura di tipo equivalente, in ragione di uno a uno. L’adeguata raccolta differenziata per l’avvio successivo dell’apparecchiatura dismessa al riciclaggio, al trattamento e allo smaltimento ambientalmente compatibile contribuisce ad evitare possibili effetti negativi sull’ambiente e sulla salute e favorisce il riciclo dei materiali di cui è composta l’apparecchiatura. Lo smaltimento abusivo del prodotto da parte dell’utente comporta l’applicazione delle sanzioni amministrative di cui al dlgs. n.22/1997 (articolo 50 e seguenti del dlgs. n.22/1997).
